Entry: Run stop Tuesday, September 29, 2009

Remember when computers had "RUN STOP" buttons?

Well, someone pushed my RUN STOP button. My foolish plans to run have tripped over and fallen down a ravine. Watch me backpedal publicly. There's a legit excuse - for more than a week, my stoopid spine has been giving me hell. Jogging causes shooting pain. Shooting pain prompts me to RUN STOP.

Poop. Can't help but feel like a shabby piker.

The Curmudgeon is still doing a half-marathon, though. His training is progressing nicely. So all the buckets of sponsorship money you could have thrown at me can go to him - drop me a line if you're feeling benevolent. This event was the major fundraiser for the ASRC last year - $57,000 was raised, and between us he and I wheedled about one-fitfty-seventh of that out of our friends and loved ones. Let's do it again!

Someone pressed my SHIFT LOCK button and I couldn't get off the sofa for three days.

Shooting pain is the Flying Spaghetti Monster's way of telling you running is a very, very silly thing to do. Hope you feel better soon.
